She even waited patiently for us to take the ski lift up the mountain and check out more views. We visited two beautiful, old monasteries and got to glimpse some of the service, which was very special. My husband and I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the lake, the countryside and beautiful mountains!”
